For Harvest Church, 6.58 acres.

1:54

Agricultural to Commercial General via BAZ dash 00238.

1:59

2238.

2:00

These numbers really get me.

2:02

Located at the northwest corner of New Orleans Street and Ninth Street.

2:37

Based on the conference of plan, location of the property and surrounding land uses, staff recommends that SP whoops, that's the wrong case number.

2:45

That SP dash 002459-2025 be approved as presented.

2:53

All right, thanks, McKenzie.

2:55

Any questions, discussion staff?

2:56

No.

2:57

Is the applicant present?

2:59

Do you have anything you wish to add?

3:01

Okay.

3:01

Anybody sign up to speak on this item?

3:05

All right, so I'll open close the public hearing, so any discussion.

3:10

I guess we're ready for a motion then.

3:11

I make a motion that we approve item six A 25-1570 per staff recommendation.

3:19

I'll second the motion.

3:20

I have a motion to second a roll call vote.

3:25

Mindy Payne, yes.

3:26

Jayley Clempa.

3:27

Yes.

3:27

Jason Cohen.

3:29

Yes.

3:29

Robert Gordon.

3:30

Yes.

3:31

Now this item will go before the city council on December 2nd, right here at 630.

3:36

Next item on the agenda is item 6B 25-1573.

3:42

Yes, this is public hearing consideration and possible action regarding PUD 002465 2025.

3:50

Major amendments to PUD 193.

3:53

17.14 acres, industrial light and PUD 193.

3:58

Located approximately one half miles south of Washington Street, also known as 91st, and approximately one half mile east of Evan Roads, also known as 225th East Avenue.

4:07

PUD 002465 2025.

4:10

Is it is a major amendment to BUD 193?

4:13

This property is located approximately one half mile south of Washington, approximately one mile east of Evans.

4:19

This PUD proposes to amend the allowed use types for the for uh ignore the eastern portion, that's a error right there.

4:26

Um amend the allowed use types for uh for PUD 193.

4:32

This amendment would remove the exclusion of outdoors storage and include it as an allowed use.

4:36

The allowed use table within the broken arrow zoning ordinance designates storage yard as a permitted use within the IL zone.

4:44

All other provisions of PUD 193 shall remain in effect as previously approved.

4:49

According to FEMA maps, none of the property is located in the 100-year floodplain.

4:53

Water and sanitary sewer are available from the city of Broken Arrow.

5:00

Based upon the location of the property and the surrounding land uses, staff recommends that PUD 002465 2025 be approved.

5:05

And actually that is correct.

5:07

It is the eastern portion of the PUD.

5:09

It's the eastern portion of the overall PUD, but the change for this is for the northern part of that.

5:14

So I was getting myself a little confused.

5:17

Yeah.

5:17

Yeah, it's the staff recommends approval.

5:20

All right, thanks, Jose.

5:21

Any discussion staff.

5:24

Is the applicant present?

5:25

Yes, sir.

5:26

Do you have anything you wish to add?

5:27

No.

5:28

Well, let me ask you a question if you don't mind coming up.

5:30

I got a quick question for you.

5:36

I think I misread it earlier or when not, but uh I want to make sure I understand.

5:40

So you're asking for the outside storage, which I don't really have a problem with that.

5:43

I we say it all the time, but you're wanting to exclude no cars, uh vehicles, I guess.

5:48

It what are we actually materials and vehicles, right?

5:52

It's not what you're what you're not gonna allow in the store outside storage.

5:55

We're talking about boats, campers, things like that.

5:58

Would you agree with that?

5:59

Yeah.

6:00

So you're looking at boats, campers, RVs, things like that.

6:03

Okay.

6:03

I've got the the owner here too, if you want to talk to him about it.

6:07

But my name is Mark Capurn with Wallace and uh Wallace Design Collective.

6:12

Yeah, I just want to make sure, and so staff's happy with the the way the PUD narrative or design statements written in to cover that then.

6:18

Yeah, the I think the because one of the things with the original PUD is it didn't include um like that vehicle storage, outdoor storage as an allowed use.

6:27

Um and so since it wasn't included as allowed use, we couldn't approve um that use, and so that's kind of what this PUD amendment is is to include it now as an allowed use.

6:36

Well, it sounds like you're really trying to control the area, and that's a good thing.

6:39

But yeah, also you mentioned that the no materials are going to be stored on site.

6:42

When I think of materials, a lot of times we're thinking like wood, debris, things like that, ag aggregate or bituminess material, anything like that.

6:50

Containers, things like that.

6:52

Is that covered in materials or how how it's my name is Carl Graham?

6:56

I represent ownership of the property.

6:58

I mean, I don't know if the city has a definition of what materials are in regards to this or not.

7:02

So yeah, I think what and I have to double check the exact text of the PUD amendment.

7:07

Um I think what we added in was might have been was it a storage order vehicle storage as the allowed use.

7:12

Um so I know one of those was what we added in.

7:15

I just want to make sure, sir, that materials is not gonna exclude stuff that you actually intended to be put in there.

7:21

So correct.

7:22

This is an RV storage facility, and we we want to allow for RVs to be parked there.

7:27

Okay.

7:31

Staff's good with that, and and will this also be trailers.

7:35

Uh I suppose yeah.

7:37

Uh I I think the the way it's written, it would allow for that, but we're pretty discerning about and it'll just be gravel, right?

7:44

Correct.

7:45

Correct.

7:48

Well were you gonna say trailers full of derivative materials or something?

7:52

But yeah, I was gonna say like it's the trailer and then it's an open trailer that's got a bunch of junk on it or um and then customers are pretty discerning customers are storing nice.

8:04

Well, and you're gonna control what's good.

8:05

You're gonna control what's going in there, so correct.

8:07

Absolutely, yeah.

8:08

Yep.

8:08

Yeah, and then the only other thing it's sometimes I've seen some storage areas not really in broken arrow, but in Tulsa where it's tractor trailers, semi-truck trailers.

8:18

You know, in the storage facility.

8:20

So it's just curious if we were that's not the intent.

8:23

Okay.

8:24

All right.

8:24

I'm sure you thought that through.

8:25

We just I just want to make sure that we're approved that we approve of what you're asking for.

8:29

So what your intent was.

8:30

So looking at it again, what it mentions there shall be no outdoor storage of material material or vehicles aside from block one lot one.

8:38

So I think this portion is that property is block one lot one, and then the one to the east is also part of the PUD 193.

8:45

So I think that's why uh that's why it has that eastern portion.

8:49

Because this property is the eastern portion of that PUD.

8:51

Yeah, the original PUD encompassed two tracks.

8:54

We just own the east track, and so we're just asking for the allowance on our tract.

9:00

Okay, and so as not to change what already existed for the other property.

9:05

Because we don't it's not our property, sounds good.

9:10

And in discussion, applicant.

9:12

All right, thanks.

9:13

Thank you.

9:14

All right, we'll close public.

9:15

Nobody else signed up speak, correct?

9:17

Okay, I guess we'll close public hearing and discussion.

9:20

Guess we're ready for I'll make a motion to approve item six B per staff recommendations.

9:25

Second.

9:26

And most second have rule call vote.

9:32

Jampa?

9:33

Yes.

9:33

Jason Cohen.

9:34

Yes.

9:35

Robert Gordon saying, Yes.

9:36

That'll go before the city council right here, December 2nd at uh 630.

9:43

Have that your wallace party next week.

9:46

Okay, thank you.

9:50

Next item on the agenda is item number eight, General Commission Business, item 8A25-1568.

10:00

Yes, this item is a or a modification to section 4.1T of the land subdivision code for IOS land company, approximately 40 acres.

10:07

Um industrial light slash PUD 001521-2024, located north of Houston Street, one quarter mile west of County Line Road.

10:17

This request is for a modification to I see my stuff.

10:25

There we go.

10:32

I'm pointing like anyone can see what I'm pointing at.

10:35

Um that will connect to the property to the north, which is also zoned industrial light with a separate PUD, uh PUD 289.

10:43

This through street will facilitate industrial traffic flow to Houston Street from both properties.

10:48

Um IOS land company proposes to end their half of the street in a cul-de-sac until such time as the entire street can be constructed.

10:56

Uh section 4.1 T of the land subdivision code limits the lengths of streets ending in a cul-de-sac to 550 feet unless planning commission grants permission for a longer street.

11:06

The length of the street needed to reach the property to the north is uh 1215 feet.

11:11

So on behalf of the property owner, city staff request a modification to section 4.1 T of the land subdivision code for this property to increase the maximum cul de sac length from 550 feet to 1215 feet.

11:26

Um and we recommend that this be approved.

11:28

Well, it does have a jogging and also, so it's not like it's a straight line.

11:32

So will the intent actually be to actually go all the way to a college street itself?

11:38

Yes.

11:38

Okay, so there will be a th it will be a thoroughfare.

11:41

And none of it's gonna be private, right?

11:43

Correct.

11:43

This is all public right of way.

11:45

Um the other thing, this uh the plat for this property went before planning commission on I believe October 9th.

11:55

Um so you will be seeing that again with the change in right of way, um, since that has changed the the length of that street and the dimensions of the lots on both sides.

12:06

Okay, and I would imagine y'all the tack looked at this and yes, I would imagine it'd be a good thing to get help get traffic off county line, correct?

12:14

I would think that would definitely I think it's a good thing to have.

12:19

Is the applicant present?

12:21

Yes.

12:22

Do you have anything you wish to add?

12:24

You're all good with it then?

12:25

Yes.

12:26

Okay.

12:27

Anyone sign up speak?

12:29

No.

12:30

I guess there are any conversation about speed bumps or anything to make sure traffic isn't going too fast.

12:39

Well, that's kind of because that's the intent of right.

12:43

So uh just to conversation.

12:47

Well, yeah, I understand.

12:48

So that's traffic calling measure, and there's different ways to do the traffic calling measure, and that's usually done after the fact of unless they actually design something to put in there right now, which would be they have the jog, so I'd I would doubt they're putting speed humps in there right now.

13:04

So that would we anticipate that the design is going to be enough to keep people from speeding down that is the anticipation.

13:12

Um I suppose that the in the future, if there is an issue with speed, then traffic calming measures can be implemented, but that's not part of the um I guess this section of the subdivision regulation that is being modified for this property.

13:28

And that'll be worked out with the engineering department and city council after that with the traffic calming measures the way I remember they did it.

13:34

So I'm not sure if that's still how they do it or not.

13:37

Thank you.

13:42

Any other discussion?

13:45

Well, close public hearing have a motion.

13:52

Well, I'll move to approve per staff recommendation.

13:56

Second.

14:04

Yes.

14:04

Jayley Klempa?

14:06

Yes.

14:06

Jason Cohen.

14:08

No.

14:08

Robert Goron's in.

14:10

Yes.

14:10

Now that'll go before the city council on December 2nd, right here at 6 30.

14:17

Item number nine remarks, inquiries, and comments by planning commission staff.

14:25

Rocky couldn't make it tonight.

14:26

He's in another meeting, but he did want to um remind you all that we did get the agenda out early.

14:32

Yes, yes.

14:35

Yeah, we greatly appreciate that.

14:37

That made our lives very nice.

14:40

Hopefully we see that a lot, right?

14:41

Yes.

14:42

Well, we're fully staffed.

14:42

No, we really appreciate that.

14:44

Yeah, fully staffed and get it done very nice.

14:46

Yeah.

14:47

I do have one question that I was thinking about.

14:49

I just it and maybe and you we don't have to talk about it tonight, but when we see and don't see landscape plans, like I know like PUDs, if we talk about the landscape, we usually request to see the landscape plans or out of courtesy, it's brought before us, right?

15:04

But not always do we see you know we may see the site plans the flat before that or something, but we don't always see the landscape plan.

15:11

So I was just curious about what the process of when we see it and when we don't.

15:17

Um I can definitely look into that more.

15:19

I think it's gonna depend on what type of project it is and if it's required as part of that approach.

15:23

And that's what I'm wondering.

15:24

I I don't know when it is or not.

15:32

I don't remember us seeing the landscape plan for.

15:35

And so I was curious why the difference would be we've seen it and we don't see it.

15:39

Yeah.

15:39

And ask about the cell tower that they were going to get with staff about the landscaping.

15:49

Can you guys give an update on that?

15:51

On the video came out on Facebook that showing it was approved and stuff, and I guess that did not go before the city council then.

15:58

It only came through us and cell tower uh by um Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Wild Wings and 71st December.

16:05

The 200 foot tower that's specific.

16:10

There's a note to reach out to them and have an update for the case.

16:12

Yeah, because I think that was one of the last things we talked about, and well, I think it was in our motion, or maybe not in the motion, but that's what our intent was if I remember right.

16:20

And I thought it was since it was specific use permit for the 200 foot tower in lieu of the hundred and sixty foot.

16:26

I thought it was going before the city council, but it wasn't on city council agenda, but the video came out saying it was approved, so I I didn't know if they meant from the planning commission commission and the staff or what big deal, just curious.

16:39

We just like trees.

16:41

Oh I believe that went to city council on October 7th.

16:45

Oh, was that when it was?

16:46

I think so.

16:47

Okay.

16:49

And so it did it approved.

16:50

Do you know if it approved per staff recommendations and the and the planning commission recommendations?

16:57

All good.

16:58

Thank you.

16:59

So there should be landscape in it then.

17:01

There should be trees and make it pretty.

17:10

And Trader Joe's, we have to that's so exciting.

17:15

Yeah.

17:17

Okay.

17:20

You just wait till you go.

17:21

I've been to one twice.

17:23

And they have they might have really pretty pickleballs that you can enjoy.

17:29

Any other discussion?

17:30

I'm just I'm just still optimistic.

17:34

This I was like, you can do a different pickle nerve.

17:38

So this isn't really a planning commission item, but I just wanted to recognize the city of Broken Arrow.

17:43

Uh going to work this morning.

17:45

I saw the a street sweeper truck.

17:47

I didn't even know we had one.

17:48

Twenty years I've never seen that happen.

17:51

And going through my neighborhood, they were uh having that run this morning.

17:55

I was like, Yes, that's awesome.

18:00

That shows where they're gonna be, right?

18:01

In a certain part of the year, I think.

18:03

Oh if I remember right.

18:05

I like and I didn't even know they had one, so just really just appreciate the city for the hard work that they're doing to help you know maintain even the little things like the curb.

18:15

So just thank you.

18:17

They're trying to keep the grass out of the sewer.

18:20

Yeah, the grass and the leaves and everything else.

18:22

But I just didn't realize they had one.

18:24

So you might get a raise after this one.

18:27

Maybe no, that's it.

18:32

Thank you.

18:34

I don't have anything.

18:35

I guess we're ready for a motion then.

18:37

I'll make a motion to adjourn.

18:38

Second.

18:40

Motion saying a rule call vote.

18:45

Too many buttons.

18:46

There we go.

18:47

Mindy Payne, yes.

18:48

J Lie Clempa.

18:49

Yes.

18:50

Jason Cohen.

18:51

Yes.

18:51

Robert Gorenson.

18:52

Yes.

18:54

Okay, so oops.

18:58

If I touch something like that, yeah, that's

The Planning Commission convened on November 6, 2025, to review several special permits, planned unit development (PUD) amendments, and subdivision code modifications. The commission heard public testimony regarding outdoor vehicle storage and street length variations, voted unanimously on three public hearing items, and discussed staff procedural updates regarding landscape plans and cell tower approvals prior to adjournment.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved Item 4A (single item) unanimously via roll call vote.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Mark Capurn (Wallace & Wallace Design Collective): Represented the applicant for PUD 25-1573. Expressed the intent to allow outdoor storage specifically for recreational vehicles (RVs), boats, campers, and trailers, while clarifying that the facility does not intend to store raw materials, debris, aggregate, bituminous materials, or semi-truck trailers.
  • Carl Graham: Represented the property owner. Confirmed the proposal is for an RV storage facility, agreed that the property is gravel, and stated that customers are discerning regarding what is stored. Clarified that the request covers only the eastern tract of PUD 193, leaving the western portion's regulations unchanged.
  • Commissioner (Unidentified): Expressed curiosity regarding the potential for tractor-trailer storage and sought confirmation that this was not the applicant's intent. Expressed support for the applicant's efforts to control the area and ensure appropriate use types.
  • Commissioner (Mindy Payne): Noted the presence of a street sweeper truck in the neighborhood and expressed appreciation for the city's maintenance efforts.

Discussion Items

Commissioner discussion clarified that the amendment excludes materials and commercial semi-trailers. The project sponsor confirmed the facility would not store raw construction materials or debris.
  • Item 8A (Subdivision Code Modification): Staff requested a modification to Section 4.1.T to extend a cul-de-sac length from the standard 550 feet to 1,215 feet for IOS Land Company. Discussion centered on the intent for the street to become a public thoroughfare connecting to the property north. Commissioner inquiry regarding traffic calming measures (speed bumps) was addressed; staff and applicants indicated that traffic calming is not part of the current subdivision regulation modification but may be implemented later by the engineering department.
